See exotic destinations! Interact with other tribes people! Start it all out with a nice day in Bishop Park, Wyandotte! Sounds like fun? Oh yeah...there’s also a chance to win one million dollars.

Wyandotte has been selected to be one of ten locations in the nation for the next CBS Survivor casting call. This is only possible with the help of Southgate Lincoln Mercury, Southgate Ford, and the Wyandotte Street Art Fair who will co-host a casting call in Bishop Park July 9th from 3 to 7 p.m. Parking is available at the new police station along Biddle, and contestants may hop a shuttle from that lot to line up in that shady waterfront park for auditions to the popular CBS Reality show.

Participants in Season 18 will fill-out an application and then be asked to discuss who they are and why they would make the next ultimate Survivor. Applicants must be present to apply.
